Donate money in support of victims of the Haitian earthquake, but make sure you're donating to a reputable disaster relief organization.

In 2008, Haiti lost at least 800 people to a series of hurricanes  Fay, Gustav, Hanna, and Ike  and now, the impoverished nation is suffering after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake, and several strong aftershocks. Hundreds are dead, and thousands more feared dead. The capital, Port-au-Prince, is devastated.

There are several reputable charities pledging support. If you want to donate to Haitian earthquake relief, these disaster relief organizations are all four-star rated charities by Charity Navigator. They're listed in order by size, from largest to smallest.

American Red CrossThe American Red Cross, which is almost three-times bigger than the next-biggest charity listed here, is providing support to Haitians affected by the earthquake. It is, however, rated as a three-star charity by Charity Navigator  which means it "exceeds or meets industry standards and performs as well as or better than most charities in its cause." The four-star charities listed below "exceed industry standards and outperforms most charities in its cause."
